In my view, this is unacceptable…
They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read “Learn more about this photo”, and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.
Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with this on a daily basis.
Fortunately, it’s actually mine, cuz I use Fedora with Gnome, which doesn’t do these magic tricks 😁
Tricks are something Microsoft does for money.
Coo-coo-ka-cha!
Owning your computer is an ILLUSION
The PC might be yours, but that virtual machine is Microsoft’s little bitch
I actually enjoy playing with Windows and Active Directory. I think it is ahead in terms of management and needing hacky workarounds
I use FreeIPA and it works just fine for everything I would need AD for. Your point still stands. I just mean there are good enough alternatives for the Linux environment.
There are definitely ways of configuring Linux systems. For many organizations Ansible or Puppet works completely fine. However, they require a significant amount of knowledge and aren’t completely standardized. Group policy on Windows has been around for a long time and will be much easier to deploy, at least in the short term.
I used to use Fedora on my Asus gaming laptop, and loved it. More recently I’ve chosen to switch over to Manjaro, because I wanted something based on Arch that was more lightweight than Garuda. Gotta love that Linux life.
Have you tried reborn or endeavor?
I tried EndeavourOS, but it didn’t fully support my hardware like Manjaro does
Interesting. I’ve only had one system that had hardware issue with any of them. And it was of course the finger print reader. Though I suppose it could be a WiFi issue.
The issue I had with my Asus ROG laptop was that EndeavourOS didn’t support the volume buttons on the keyboard, along with some other keys. It was annoying enough that I went to Manjaro.
I guess Lemmy is mostly tech nerds like myself, but it’s still cool as hell to see another Fedora user around :)
